At a Final Fantasy Conference presentation in France’s Japan Expo, Square Enix revealed that Lightning from the Final Fantasy XIII games will make an appearance (as an NPC) in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Costumes and weapons from Final Fantasy XIII will also be made available in FF14: A Realm Reborn, allowing players’ in-game avatars to cosplay as their favourite FF13 characters…

Hailed as an MMORPG that celebrates Final Fantasy’s 25 years of history, A Realm Reborn will also incorporate many other elements of past FF games, including summons such as Behemoth, Titan, Garuda, and Moogle.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is currently in beta test. The full version of the MMO is expected to go into service on the PC on August 27, 2013.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will also be released for the PlayStation 3 on August 27. A PlayStation 4 version will also be launched after the system has been released.
